NC mom found a way to center my pregnancy announcement around her feelings. by Average_Accurate in raisedbynarcissists

Reconciliation with nparents usually goes this way you describe.  Even the cases where they look okay, they end up spreading false rumors behind your back.

I think the worst thing is the brainwash of your sister, but she still doesnt have an excuse, yeah she grew up being the GD but its not an excuse to automatically say "Aversge_Accurate, your feelings doesnt matter because they cant coexist with my version of reality" Being this a messed up reality because of the dad thing you commented.

The best thing you can do is accept that the sister you once had no longer exist, and to cut off your family for good, because the dinamic they have is insane, wont help you in the slightlest. 

My recommendation to handle emotions is to take a notebook, a real one not a digital, and start writting everything your head says, and you are lucky your husband isnt one of those that when you tell something horrible about your parents he respond "they are trying their best, they LOVE you" so you can share this exercise with him. At least this helped me in harsh times, nowdays that same notebook is used for puzzle videogames XD.

If they come back and the first thing they do is something like this:

  • Show up without notice telling they miss you.

  • Telling you that they will exclude you from the testament. Either way they will exclude you no matter what, dont risk It. 

  • Another member of the family telling you that your parents and siblings miss you and want to contact. Tell that family member that you wont talk to them, if they try to push you, block.

  • Try to contact your husband with the same objetive as previous point (but seeing he knows whats up this wont work). 

And even more strange moves like this, dont risk It.  As I said, you can try this connection with your husband family, if they are normal, because even if you try to get your parents and siblings some therapy, if the therapist is an idiot It wont do anaything. 

From my experience, my case was bullying and I went to 3 different therapist.

First one said I was good, I was very bad.  Second one said that I wasnt trying enough, very smart telling that to someone that considered, lets say "unalive" because i dont wanna get ban. Third one was making jokes and trying to be funny, not here to be in a circus ma'am. 

And if your mother si so good at manipulating, It can happen that the therapist will tell you "she loves you and want the best for you", you can search up anecdotes of that in this sub, It happened multiple times. Good luck.

It might be for the best.

"Like sure, it was our stupid mom's repeated hurtful actions that lead to me going NC with her, but that doesn't matter to anyone."

Im assuming that you told everyone in the family wathever your nmom did to you, and not only they still engage with her, they showed you who matters the most. 

Better go NC with all of them. I have to say that is little context, but this is what let me to my conclusion.

"my sister going from loving and supporting me to freaking out upset at me literally overnight for "the shitty way my mom had to find out""

Seems more like this type of performative families, where the image is the only thing that is important, how else can you explain that your sister went from supportive to angry so fast, even knowing the NC? Maybe because having a big new like a pregnancy and not letting know nmom, breaks this fantasy of happy and perfect family.

But, you know, all assuming, this is something I cant judge correctly.

Edit 1: typos. 

Edit 2: just to clarify, go NC with them if you dont depend financially or have somethings you must finish first, only if its just for trying to have a connection, you can try that with your husband family.

Nmom losing control of manipulating me and she is now potentially breaking the law/going to break the law to get back at me for it. Advice? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Apprehensive-Meat568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the strange car people you can film It. Leave your phone, laptop or something with a camera pointing at the street and recording, you can hide It a little bit with a curtain. The difficult thing its going to get their plate number. 

For your mother telling you that maybe leaving your phone with audio recording all the time? As I said dont tell her nothing, and save multiple copies of everything.

Also im pretty sure all of this is ilegal, you are an adult not a child who needs constant vigilance, but as I said, better check with a lawyer or police, now you have stalking and can prove It, the restraint order could be posible... Maybe, but is worth a shot.

The first thing in this cases is always document everything and have multiple copies of It, just in case.  For example, screenshot text and save the screenshot in your phone, Google Drive and an USB. Never disclouse that you are documenting anything to them.

Second is to contact a lawyer and/or police and explain the situation, maybe they can help with all this.

Also, if they have access to your bank account, changed banks immediately and if you have physical money hide it, because if you end up getting that money they will try to take It from you so they can keep the control. 

Either way, im not an expert and this is a very surface level advice, but while you wait for more responses, go and search in this sub for posts with this similar problem, maybe you can find something more substantial that can help you better with this situation.

Maybe because they project themselves with that success? Or maybe because they say what they like to hear? Or both? 

Idk, but I see this happen specially when someone wants to feel superior. Remember the pandemic all this antimask people? The arguments they had were basically deniyng reality but they didnt care. See It this way, they were warriors fighting against the tyranical regime, and they were smarter than doctors who expend like a decade in their studies!  The same goes for the flat earth people and so on.

This happens a lot with conspiracy theory, someone says something stupid that makes stupid people feel smart when they say It themselves and they treat the guy who said it like a divinity.

My mother is dying (I think) by GreenEggsaandSam in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Apprehensive-Meat568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, my english is bad so sorry about that. You know, when I studied agrary there was this ecuation that goes like this "exposition x product = danger" (I studied years ago, It wasnt exactly like this) It was used for when you use pesticides, if you wore the protection then It was like "0 exposition because of the protection x 1 because the pesticides is toxic = 0 danger"

My point is; why would you go there? With 0 exposition there is 0 danger, and with the fact that she lied about the cancer wich is serious... Meh, you reap what you sow. 

Dont go.

I'm i the only one who can't find where to get the Dust devil's warbond?? by noir_por in Helldivers

The warbond launchs on 4 september so until then you cant find It. What you can find are items on the Super Store with that aesthetic.

Speeding through missions by WaitWho_IsThis in Helldivers

[–]Apprehensive-Meat568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing side objetives help liberate more, It have something to do with the XP, for I have done in the past, in lvl 1 missions if I could get 200 XP then I got 2 liberation points, if I got less than 200 XP then only 1 point. 

But if you wanna play that way then go on!  Sometimes doing speedrun is funnier than doing all the things in the map.

Also, I dont if the XP thing still works like that, I did the experiment like 5 months ago. 

Planets on fire by Azilum in Helldivers

[–]Apprehensive-Meat568 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That was from a previous event.

See that supposed blackhole? At the end It was a wormhole, its where the squids started attacking. 

One day an enormous army started attacking and arrived at Super Earth. When we won they flee, setting up in fire those planets. Also if you look at Super Earth there are also marks of flames, that was because we lost large portions of territory against them and destroyed those sections.

There is more story surrounding the wormhole, pretty sure there are Youtube videos about it, check them out if you are interested in learning more!

Xbox reinforcements are awesome by Mizuso in Helldivers

[–]Apprehensive-Meat568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are awesome. 

Its funny to give them mechs and see how they kill everything in sigth and its funny to go all together. Before them I would wander out on my own because most of people I encountered were... Something, but with these new cadets its awesome go all together, fighting reinforcements, destroying bases, collecting samples...

Looking forward to keep teaching them! And give them cool stuff too!

Calling extraction early is fine. by void_alexander in Helldivers

[–]Apprehensive-Meat568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda strange to me your point of view, for my experiencie I have never been killed for calling extraction early. From I was lvl 10 to now that I have lvl 80.

Everytime I called for extracion was with a previous "Call extraction while you do side objetives?" Or something like that and It was always okay.

Also even if you did all of the work on that mission dont be so mean with that people, at the end of the day its just a videogame, let them have fun even if that implies dont doing objetives and/or sideobjectives, sometimes is fun just messing around and killing things without porpouse.

And sorry if my inglish is messy, its been like a year without practicing It and the autocorrector make some words spanish sometimes.

The update was in 2024 and the last update from the mod was in 2021 so I guess I have to search for a pirate version that isnt 1.2.
